Ruins

I‘ve been lying in this bed for hours
Think I‘ll lay here for some more
Because the sun has not yet risen
Spring is coming, but the leaves have
already withered and turned brown
Dust and rubble, cracking walls
No one cared to sweep the floor
The roof is caving in
but I can‘t see the light shining through
Dulled my mind and bruised my bones
took no time to fix what‘s broke
I‘m hiding in the basement and
waiting for the storm to pass
Can you hear me through the static
Signal faded from the rain
Are we speaking the same language
I want to tell you something
but you just look straight past me
Every house will crumble
if they‘re left alone
empty for too long
So let‘s squat every empty building
take care of them
and fill them with hope

Can't Bring Us Down

Can't bring us down
we'll stand our ground
And when we stand together
we're invincible
Never again will we let it happen
no not to our friends so you better turn around
He's getting ready
to conquer the world
Hairy legs in daisy dukes
gold rings in his ears
He's being followed
they need someone to hate
It's not the first time
but this time
this time we were there
You lust for power
you think that we are scared
Holding onto glory
that you never had
We're moving forward
while you're Stuck in the past
We are the future and you
you are just sad
We'll never be divided
diverse but still united
Together we're better
and you cannot stop us now

Count Me Out
04:36

I didn't mean to fail you
but both of us miscalculated
Did you set the bar too high
or am I just insufficient
Your quiet sobs are resonating
through my bones as you hold on to me
To let me know about your wishes
the promises I didn't fulfill
Disenchantment paints you pale
as I turn away
I‘m not the one who‘ll save you
so you better count me out
I know you wanted more from me
but my sympathy has been wearing thin
I‘m sorry that I had to leave you all alone
but the troubles that you've had were never my fault
No, I‘m not the one who‘ll save you
so you better count, yeah you‘ll have to count me out
Walking through empty hallways
waiting for someone to pass by
I only came a few times
but my thoughts were always with you
But what good are they gonna do
when you needed something to hold on to
Best wishes and good intentions
are hardly more than impostors
you can place the blame on me
I've come to terms with it

Hopeless Radicals
03:43

Living in a void
Got no sense of direction
Looking like adults
Think you got the wrong impression
But we had our dreams
we just lacked the means
We got creative out of need
Turning empty spots
liberated squats
I had never felt this free
I remember the days we had
when all we did was wrong, but it felt so right oh
Causing trouble and breaking laws
with no care at all under the cover of night oh
We wanted to change the world
Make it better than it was before
Our hearts were pure
and like so many thing that hasn't changed at all
Growing up so slow almost didn't notice
That I've settled down
but I haven't lost my motives
Wasting so much time
Never had a dime
Making a living out of dumpster dives
But I'm still a rebel
anarchy's my temple
but now I do things differently
All we did was wrong but it felt so right
causing trouble in the night
Breaking stupid laws with no care at all
Just some hopeless radicals

Goodbye
03:31

Your words are faint your lips are shaking
Such certain words but I can‘t comprehend
the thought has been lingering in the back of our minds
Too scared to jump, but if you hold my hand
My Body is heavy as a stone
dont know if I‘ll get back up on my own
and as we fall the memories are flashing through my mind
and it breaks my heart to think that there will never more of them
I wish I‘d take you out more than once in a while
but I‘ve spent the last ten years below the poverty line
I had a dream the other night
where we pretended everything was fine
I don‘t know what lies ahead, but if you want
I got your back until the end of time
Emotions keep revolving like a carousel
now I try to stay composed but you‘ve cracked my shell
Perhaps this time next year we‘ll be the best of friends
but now we need to split yea it‘s time to say goodbye
